Ideal length
Day 1
A first night in Nairobi to recover from the flight before heading south, by train and then by road.
Day 1
Arrival in Nairobi
Arrival at Nairobi international airport, transfer and check-in at the hotel. Dinner at leisure and first night in Kenya.
Days 2-3
Amboseli is the picture most people have of Kenya: elephants crossing the plain in front of Kilimanjaro. Two nights here leave time for a late-afternoon game drive and a full day in the park.
Day 2
Nairobi – Amboseli by train
Meet your French-speaking guide, transfer to Nairobi station and take the train to Emali. Drive on to Amboseli (120 km), lunch at the lodge, then a first game drive at the end of the day.
Day 3
Amboseli, facing Kilimanjaro
A full day on safari in Amboseli National Park, in the south of the country on the Tanzanian border. The savannah stretches out at the foot of Kilimanjaro, whose snow-capped summit towers over the elephant herds. Picnic lunch.
Day 4
Tsavo is Kenya's largest national park. Its elephants coat themselves in the region's ochre dust, which gives them a red colour seen nowhere else.
Day 4
Amboseli – Tsavo National Park
Drive to Tsavo (220 km) with a picnic lunch on the way. The afternoon is spent on a game drive in the heart of the park, looking for the red elephants.
Days 5-8
The trip ends on the Indian Ocean: white sand, turquoise water and a full day with nothing planned before the flight home.
Day 5
Tsavo – Mombasa
Transfer to Mombasa with the driver. Lunch at leisure, check-in at the beach hotel, dinner and overnight.
Day 6
Free day in Mombasa
A free day to enjoy the beach, the pool and the hotel's facilities. Activities and excursions are available at extra cost, payable locally.
Day 7
Mombasa – flight home
Morning and lunch at leisure depending on flight times, then transfer to the airport. Dinner and night on board.
Day 8
Back in France
Arrival back in France.
